Many cases of NS boys dying...are you worried for your boys?

[Lyddon]

With blood, sweet and tears spent for almost 20 years lovingly raising a preciously little baby to become a health young adult and the current levels of reporting/investigation of deaths in NS …


Anyone would be worried.

Just imagine if you have lost a son (your only child) in NS to an training "accident". How would you feel about the entire idea of NS?

Beyond NS deaths, what about chronic injuries acquired during NS?

I know of many healthy friends and family that has entered NS with hearty vigor to serve their country. After 2 years, some has left NS with painful injuries that persist till this day.

You may say those injuries are inevitable part of training to defend our nation. But when those painful injuries persist into the fragile golden years … chronic back pains, knee and shoulder injuries (to name a few)- one will begin to question if it is all worth it.

Even supposedly fit soccer players can just collapse on the field, Fabrice Muamba from Bolton Wanderers suffered a near-fatal cardiac arrest on the pitch last month.

Naive blog, beyond belief. Military synergy with ASEAN? The same people who call us a little red dot? Those who strive to shut our airspace?

Our neighbours have no love for Singapore, don't ever forget that.
